I'm only talking about my own script, /etc/gdm/Init/:2 - you can find it here: http://doc.freevo.org/BootFreevo#head-68c70d623012dd745e4a2342743c59bc6751d3a6 > dan...@pocock.com.au said: > >> The Debian packages implement recordserver and webserver as daemons - have >> you had a look at that? >> > > You're referring to stuff that lives in debian repos, or something else?

I recently installed Centos and Solaris 10 in VMs as a convenient way of evaluating a couple of apps that haven't been conveniently packaged for the OS I normally use, Debian. It's surprisingly easy. Anyhow, an easy way to examine the Debian packages is to expand the source: wget http://mirror.positive-internet.com/debian/pool/main/f/freevo/freevo_1.8.1.orig.tar.gz wget http://mirror.positive-internet.com/debian/pool/main/f/freevo/freevo_1.8.1-3.diff.gz Unpack the tar.gz file, and then apply the diff. Look under the debian directory to see the custom init scripts, etc On a Debian machine, you can just do: $ mkdir /tmp/freevo-sources $ cd /tmp/freevo-sources $ apt-get source freevo and that will set up the source tree for you to examine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
